Help identifying guitar.

Can any of you identify what make and model guitar this is that John Bramwell of I am Kloot band is playing? If this is the same model he plays on the movie "Everybody's Fine" song name is "No Fear of Falling", then it's a great sounding guitar. Any help is appreciated. The top of the peg head is V shaped if that helps.

The pickguard shape tells me it is a Yamaha. As for the model I can't be sure but the bound fingerboard and peghead might help to narrow it down.

Jay's right, definitely a Yamaha. Since it's a dred and a bound neck it's probably an FG. It might be one of the DW series but they're not very common. There is no Dove logo on the headstock so I would guess a late 70's FG, (340, 345, 365, or 375?). Hard to tell anything more.

On another video it looks like the dove logo was on there as this was what was throwing me off as all other details like you say was pointing to a Yamaha but I have never seen a Yamaha with the dove logo you mentioned. I did a search for some of the models you mentioned and there is actually a Yammy FG 450SE that looks exactly or very close to the one he is playing. The reason I am trying to find out is that I was watching "Everybody's Fine" movie with Robert Deniro and about a third of the way in this beautiful sounding guitar starts playing. It sounded like a very high quality guitar. Needless to say if you watch the movie you will hear it. You can't miss it.

Thanks for the info,

JP
